A very lovely, spacious room with all the necessities. The room is warm. Can be a little noisy when the window is open, but otherwise very comfy. Any issues at check-in were resolved immediately.

The staff were very helpful. The rooms were clean.
The breakfast was really good.
The hotel is really useful for the SECC. That was the purpose we used it for, and would certainly use the hotel again.

Suzanne, Freetobook.com

it was an excellent two nights stay. All staff were most helpful – could not have been more. Very Satisfied for what we needed

Room 408 Mr Colin Larner

Excellent! Delighted with room, price, excellent breakfast, and very friendly/helpful staff. My kind of hotel (although putting a Macdonald in the Campbell room beside a picture of the Glencoe massacre did raise a smile!). Would definitely recommend.

Peter, Freetobook.com

The staff, especially Patricia and Kristy went out of their way to accommodate me!
Thanks for the early check-in as I was up for over 40 hours at that time! (Work travel)
After 21 straight working days, sleep was more important and there was no noise in the room whatsoever!
Great food in the Sutherlands restaurant downstairs, great service, great price, very happy.
Very comfortable too! Your service matched your very enjoyable city, I was impressed as it turned out to be very friendly, very safe. I’ll spend more time here next chance I get!

Room 19

The duty manager was wonderfully kind and understanding when we arrived to discover we had booked for the wrong date. Front desk was excellent.

Stopped here for 2 nights as friends stopping here for a couple of weeks! Hotel was centrally located to reach everywhere we had to get to! Got a great rate for a twin room with breakfast! Breakfast was very good with a wide variety of choices! Staff very attentive!

Clan Buchanan

The Buchanan name is Irish, but the clan settled near Loch Lomond in Scotland in the 13th Century.

Motto : Clarior Hinc Honos (Brighter hence the honour)

Members of the Buchanan Clan include a US president
History of Clan Buchanan

…..The Buchanan clan has the one of the oldest established clan societies in Scotland, which owns the clan’s most precious possession, its heartland from which it gets its warcry. This is a small island, measuring just half a mile in length, named Clar Innis or Clarinch, on Loch Lomond. It is on this island that the clan was first recorded in 1225. That was when the island was given to Sir Anselan of Absalon of Buchanan, said to be a son of Macbeth.

…..The Buchanan clan is thought to have origniated in 1016 A.D. when Anselan O’Kyan (or Absalon) fled Ireland. He was the son of the reigning Ulster monarch and was forced to flee Ireland by Canute the Dane. He was then employed by Malcom II (the Scottish king) to defend against Norse attacks in the west. He was awarded land (through marriage into the family of the Earl of Lennox) on the east bank of Loch Lomond. The Buchanan lands lying to the east of Loch Lomond, remained in the clan for nearly seven centuries. The lands and the Buchanan House were sold in 1682 to the 3rd Marquess of Montrose on the death of John, the 22nd laird. Despite the number of cadet branches, the clan became dispersed.

…..Buchanan Castle stands on that land today, although it was built and owned by the Montrose family. It is now surrounded by a golf course, Club Buchanan Castle. The clubhouse sits on the former grounds of Buchanan house. Loch Lomond is within an hours drive of Glasgow and frequent trains to Balloch leave from Glasgow Queen Street Station.
